根據本人教學經驗，在《計算機專業英語》課程中，學生不喜歡重復學習計算機導論或計算機文化，同時對長篇的英文閱讀也感到枯燥。因此本書在寫作方法上有所創新，根據*的國外官方網站（如維基百科英文版，國外計算機教程網站等），在第一篇中，以簡明的計算機術語英文解釋方式來學習計算機專業詞匯及基本概念，同時引入技術熱點，如電子商務，人工智能，智能手機，大數據，云計算、高性能計算等概念。內容有新穎性，時效性強，能激發學生的學習興趣，既不重復計算機導論知識，也避免了枯燥的長篇英文閱讀。在第二篇中精選Apple,Micrsoft,Adobe，維基百科英文版等著名公司的官網，引入計算機新產品，新技術，新軟件和國外計算機教程，使學生通過閱讀了解計算機新技術，在實際應用中掌握專業詞匯和科技英語表達方式。而目前國內計算機英語教材鮮有計算機新產品的英文技術文檔介紹，有較強的創新點。附錄提供的學習配套資源齊全，方便學習。本教材的編寫思路具有創新性，相信具有良好的教學價值和推廣前景。

Operating Systems
Part I Computer terms
* Operating Systems
The operating?system (OS) is the most important program that runs on a computer. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs and applications. Computer operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as printers. Computers and mobile devices must have an operating system to run programs. (ref. Fig.1-3-1)
Fig.1-3-1 Operating system
For large systems, the operating system has even greater responsibilities and powers. It is like a traffic cop—it makes sure that different programs and?users?running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for?security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not?access?the system.
* Multitasking
The ability to execute more than one?task?at the same time, a task being a program. The terms multitasking and multiprocessing are often used interchangeably, although multiprocessing mplies that more than one?CPU is involved.
In multitasking, only one CPU is involved, but it switches from one program to another so quickly that it gives the appearance of executing all of the programs at the same time.
* Multiprocessing
Supports running a program on more than one?CPU.
* Multi-user
Refers to computer systems that support two or more simultaneous users. All?mainframes and minicomputers are multi-user systems, but most personal computers and workstations are not.
* Multithreading
The ability of an?operating system?to?execute?different parts of a program, called threads, simultaneously. The?programmer?must carefully design the program in such a way that all the threads can run?at the same time without interfering with each other.
* Real time
?Responds to input instantly. General-purpose operating systems, such as?DOS?and?UNIX, are not real-time.
* Linux Operating Systems
Linux?is a freely distributed open source operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds and it is based on UNIX.
* Windows Operating Systems
Microsoft Windows?is a family of operating systems for personal and business computers. Windows dominates the personal computer world, offering a graphical user interface (GUI), virtual memory management, multitasking, and support for many peripheral devices.
* Mac Operating Systems
Mac OS is the official name of the?Apple Macintosh operating system. Mac OS features a graphical user interface (GUI) that utilizes windows, icons, and all applications that run on a Macintosh computer have a similar user interface.
* Control panel
A?Macintosh?utility?that permits you to set many of the?system?parameters. For example, you can control the type of beeps the?Mac?makes and the sensitivity of the?mouse.
* Mobile operating system
A mobile?operating system, also called a mobile OS, is an operating system that is specifically designed to run on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices. The mobile operating system is the software platform on top of which other programs, called application?programs, can run on mobile devices.
* Smartphone
Smartphones are a handheld?device?that integrates mobile phone capabilities with the more common features of a handheld computer or?PDA. Smartphones allow users to store information,?e-mail, install programs, along with using a mobile phone in one device. For example a smartphone could be a mobile phone with some PDA functions integrated into the device, or vise versa.
* NOS—network operating system
Abbreviated as NOS, a network operating system includes special functions for connecting computers and devices into a local-area network (LAN). Some operating systems, such as UNIX and the Mac OS, have networking functions built in.
